800 laws per year: The dynamic adoption of EU law is overburdening EEA countries - this also threatens Switzerland
If Switzerland accepts the new bilateral treaties with the EU, it will have to adopt EU law in part dynamically. Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are already doing this - and are overwhelmed.
The Swiss must prepare for dynamic adoption of EU laws if they accept new bilateral contracts. Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein already do this through the European Economic Area (EEA) and are struggling with the workload. The three countries currently have 583 laws pending adaptation, and their authorities are at their limits.
The EU creates around 800 laws per year, but the EEA countries can only handle 600-700, leading to a backlog. The Swiss will not have to coordinate with partner states but will still face challenges with increasingly complex and comprehensive EU laws.
